M5.5 The matrix multiplication (AB), where A and B are any matrix, is equal to the matrix
multiplication (BA).
M5.8 A cofactor of a matrix is the set of numbers that remains after a given row and column have been
removed from a matrix.
M5.13 We can develop an n m matrix by the addition of an n m matrix and an n p matrix, where
p < n.
M5.14 We can develop an n m matrix by adding an n p matrix and an n r matrix where p + r = m.
M5.17 A matrix having only a single column with multiple rows, or a single row with multiple columns,
is called a vector.
M5.18 A matrix multiplied by its inverse is always equal to the identity matrix.

M5.31 Matrices can be used by television station executives to describe the channel switching
behavior of their eight o’clock TV news audience.
M5.32 As a mathematical tool, determinants are of value in helping to solve a series of simultaneous
equations.
M5.33 A set of simultaneous equations can be solved through the use of determinants by setting up a
proportion of two special determinants for each unknown variable.
5.34 To create the transpose of a given matrix, we simply interchange the rows with the columns.
